Meet Our Master Facilitators:

GREGORY TEBB, E-RYT®500

(300-HOUR YTT PROGRAM)

Greg will lead us through five weekends in Ashtanga Vinyasa – moving us beyond Ashtanga Short Form and into Primary and Intermediate series of this powerful practice. We will explore asana, cueing and assisting along with traditional Sanskrit and Shloka studies. Tebb has studied the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa method for over 14 years with his teacher Manju Jois and has Jois' blessing to teach into the Advanced series. He has completed a training manual with Jois available on Ashtanga.com which will be one of our required reading titles. Tebb currently teaches and lives in Midtown Manhattan, NYC.

MICHAEL GANNON, E-RYT®500

(300-Hour YTT Program)

Michael will lead our two final weekends in GPVY– Gannon Power Vinyasa Yoga. Michael Gannon is one of the shining stars of international teachers in the area of yoga and transformation. His rare understanding and unique teaching style of the original vinyasa system supports the idea that yoga’s awakening powers — physical, mental and spiritual — are available to all, slowly, slowly, through daily yoga practice. Gannon is also a long-time student of Ashtanga Vinyasa through his teacher Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and he will lend his perspective to our Ashtanga Vinyasa knowledge while also taking us deeper into advanced practice of Vinyasa Flow yoga. How do we continue to challenge ourselves and our advancing students in the practice? We will cover vinyasa sequencing techniques, assists and Gannon’s philosophy of the practice. Gannon currently lives and teaches out of his Yogaloft studio in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Amy completed her first RYT®200 with Greg Tebb and Terry Johnson in 2012 in Ashtanga Vinyasa, which remains her personal practice today.

She believes yoga is for everyone and through practice and study with a qualified teacher, healing of mind, body and spirit can occur. Amy has much gratitude for all of her teachers especially Greg Tebb, with whom she continues to study.

Michele Mallory, E-RYT®200, YACEP®

(200-HOUR YTT PROGRAM)

Michele’s yoga journey began quietly in the late 1990s as a distance runner and marathoner who was looking for a stretching routine to balance out her tight legs and lower back. Michele’s personal practice today is a combination of Power Vinyasa, Ashtanga Vinyasa, and Budokon® Yoga. Michele completed her RYT®200 in March 2015 with Grow Yoga School teachers Susannah Herring and Johnna Smith and became certified to teach Cameron Shayne's Budokon® Yoga in 2017. She is thankful for all of her yoga teachers who have taught her patience and self-acceptance, strength and balance.

Laura lee madigan, RYT®200

(200-HOUR YTT Program)

LL attended her first yoga class in 8th grade as a complement to regular ballet practice. She continued to attend vinyasa and Bikram yoga classes as part of her workout routine throughout high school and college, and continued to fall in love with the yoga practice. After graduating from Rhodes College in 2015, LL’s interest in holistic health and fitness led her to a job at lululemon athletica. Her company’s involvement in the fitness community led her straight to her yoga mat and her passion. LL’s yoga journey truly began with a 30 day challenge in Naples, Florida and continued when she transferred to lululemon Memphis in September of 2015, bringing her love of yoga and dedicated practice with her. In 2017, she received her first 200 Hour certification through DwiPada Yoga followed by Gannon Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher training with Michael Gannon of Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. LL is looking forward to the next chapter in her yoga journey and is excited to share the love and happiness yoga has brought into her life with others.
